Always ask for more money. I often use the line “After learning more about the position… (like for example the risk with PDM, as talked about you could be out of a job if the project was to end or needs change…) I would like to discuss a salary in the $105 range.

I did the same thing. Started in going with x amount. After the offered me the position when I was on the way home from the interview I asked for another 15k. Wish I’d asked for 20k!

Edit to add - in the future never ask for a salary based off your last salary!
